Hello all!

Tami Stronach, best known for her role as The Childlike Empress in "The NeverEnding Story", will be at Pandemonium, this Saturday at 1 PM!

She will be talking about her upcoming film, "Man & Witch: The Dance of a Thousand Steps" coming out July 28th.

"Three Mysterious Curses, two lost souls... and one incredibly difficult dance. A lowly goatherd seeks out a reclusive witch to break the evil enchantment that has long kept him from taking a wife. When he completes the three impossible trials the witch prescribes, the man earns the hand of the legendary Princess, only heir of the Old King of the Cursed Kingdom. But when he arrives at the altar with a perfect fairytale ending hanging in the balance, both the goatherd and mysterious witch who helped transform him into the perfect eligible bachelor find that there is one enchantment they can't figure out how to break... true love."

All who buy a ticket to Man & Witch in advance and provide proof of purchase will receive an autographed photo!

Tickets can be bought at the link below:

We here at Pandemonium were thinking about how we could put our main downstairs event space to use on weekday afternoons (noon-6pm).

If you had access to 8 tables and 32 chairs in a air conditioned/heated space on weekday afternoons, what would you do with it? Please reply below.

Thanks in advance!

The proprietor of the Night Bazaar will be visiting Pandemonium for one night only! Come join editor and author Lenore Hart and author and artist Naia Poyer for an immersive evening of reading, discussions (and signings!) of their recent anthology. The third in the Night Bazaar Collections of dark fantasy.

Come to the Night Bazaar! Where anything you may need can be found... For a price.

"The midnight market has operated throughout history in various locales, appearing in a city for one week only, never to return. This time the Bazaar’s proprietress, the enigmatic and unflappable Madame Vera, escorts the reader on an eerie, fantastical British tour in ten linked short stories by various authors. Some tales feature such recognizable luminaries as Sherlock Holmes, occultist Madam Blavatsky, and Queen Anne Boleyn. Several take place during the Bazaar proper, while others occur earlier or later, tied to its 1880 London appearance by a curse or spell – or, by an object found, inherited, purchased, or stolen during the decades since, by the unsuspecting, foolish, or greedy (though seldom the completely innocent).

Together, these ten linked stories take readers on a fantastical journey into astonishment, dread, and dark delight. The Night Bazaar still holds everything you’ve read about but thought had passed away, or perhaps never existed at all. How wrong you were! But be warned: as usual, each object or service comes with a gift, a curse, or a haunting."
